Perplexity AI sources answers from two places: its own crawler PerplexityBot, which crawls the open web independently, and the Bing index as a real-time supplementary source. To index my URL for Perplexity, it needs to be discoverable by both. IndexMyURL creates open-web crawl signals for PerplexityBot and IndexNow to Bing for the Bing path — simultaneously, in one campaign.
Every campaign also covers Google, ChatGPT, Claude AI and Gemini at no extra cost. One credit, every AI engine. Credits back automatically if not indexed in 15 days.

Perplexity AI is different from ChatGPT in one important way: it has its own crawler. PerplexityBot crawls the open web independently and builds Perplexity's own knowledge base. This means Perplexity can surface content that is not in Bing's index — but only if PerplexityBot has discovered and crawled it. For a complete view of all AI engines, see our AI search visibility guide.
In addition to PerplexityBot, Perplexity also queries Bing for real-time supplementary results — the same Bing index that powers ChatGPT Browse and Microsoft Copilot. Getting your URL into Bing via IndexNow therefore covers both ChatGPT and part of Perplexity at the same time. Our Bing indexing tool explains how that submission works.
IndexMyURL is the only Perplexity indexing tool that covers both discovery paths: open-web crawl signals for PerplexityBot and Bing IndexNow for the supplementary Bing source — in the same campaign, for the same credit.
PerplexityBot — independent crawler
Perplexity's own crawler visits open-web URLs to build its knowledge base. It discovers URLs through links and existing search indexes — getting indexed in Google and Bing is the fastest way to become visible to PerplexityBot.
Bing index — supplementary source
Perplexity queries the Bing index for real-time supplementary results. IndexNow submission to Bing gives your URL immediate Perplexity coverage via this path — typically within hours.
Google signals — indirect Perplexity boost
Google indexation increases open-web discoverability, which makes it easier for PerplexityBot to find and prioritize your URL in its independent crawl schedule.
Claude AI — hub network discovery path
Claude AI uses Brave Search. Our hub network creates a discovery path toward BraveBot — covered in every campaign alongside Perplexity, ChatGPT and Gemini.
What your content misses when neither PerplexityBot nor Bing has indexed it.
| Situation | ❌ Without Perplexity indexing tool | ✅ With IndexMyURL |
|---|---|---|
| PerplexityBot discovers your URL | Depends on crawl schedule — days to weeks | Crawl signals accelerate discovery |
| Perplexity Bing source coverage | Not available if not in Bing | IndexNow to Bing — typically under 24h |
| ChatGPT Browse coverage | Not available if not in Bing | Covered via the same Bing IndexNow |
| Google + Gemini coverage | Not included | 14 Google crawl signal rounds included |
| Claude AI discovery | No path | Hub network → Brave Search → Claude AI |
| Failed indexation | No recourse | Credits back automatically on day 15 |
Three steps. Both PerplexityBot and the Bing supplementary path covered automatically.
Paste up to 10,000 URLs, upload a CSV, or connect your sitemap or RSS feed. 404s, redirects and noindex pages are validated and filtered — always free of charge.
IndexNow submits your URLs to Bing instantly — covering the Perplexity supplementary source and ChatGPT in one signal. Crawl signals run in parallel over 14 rounds to help PerplexityBot discover your URL independently. Hub network creates a path toward Claude AI.
IndexMyURL monitors Bing and Google indexation over 15 days. Dashboard shows green status when confirmed indexed. Credits back automatically on day 15 if not indexed.
Both are AI search engines. But they source content differently — and that changes what you need to do.
PerplexityBot crawls the open web independently, plus Perplexity queries Bing for supplementary real-time results. Your URL needs to appear in at least one of these sources. IndexMyURL covers both via crawl acceleration signals and Bing IndexNow.
ChatGPT Browse relies almost entirely on the Bing index. It does not have its own independent crawler. Getting indexed in Bing via IndexNow is sufficient for ChatGPT coverage. See our ChatGPT indexing tool for the full explanation.

Everything you need to know about getting your URLs found by Perplexity AI.
How do I get my website to appear in Perplexity AI answers?
Perplexity AI uses two sources to retrieve content: its own crawler called PerplexityBot, which crawls the open web, and the Bing index as a supplementary real-time source. To appear in Perplexity answers, your URL needs to be discoverable by PerplexityBot and indexed in Bing. IndexMyURL creates open-web crawl signals to help PerplexityBot find your URL, and sends IndexNow to Bing for the supplementary path.
Does Perplexity have its own crawler?
Yes. Perplexity AI uses PerplexityBot, its own independent web crawler, to build part of its knowledge base. PerplexityBot discovers URLs through open-web links and existing search indexes. Getting your URL indexed in Google and Bing significantly increases the probability that PerplexityBot will discover and crawl it.
Is getting indexed by Perplexity the same as getting indexed by ChatGPT?
Not exactly. ChatGPT Browse relies almost entirely on Bing for real-time results. Perplexity has its own PerplexityBot crawler plus Bing as a supplementary source. This means Perplexity has broader and more independent coverage than ChatGPT. IndexMyURL covers both: IndexNow to Bing for both ChatGPT and Perplexity, and open-web crawl signals that help PerplexityBot discover your URL independently.
Can I submit backlinks on third-party sites to appear in Perplexity?
Yes. IndexMyURL is designed for backlinks on domains you do not own — guest posts, directory listings, niche edits, forum backlinks. You do not need to own the domain or have any special access. We create crawl signals and IndexNow notifications for any public URL you submit, regardless of who owns the hosting domain.
How long does it take to appear in Perplexity AI after submission?
IndexNow signals reach Bing within hours, which gives Perplexity access via its Bing supplementary source quickly. PerplexityBot's own crawl schedule is independent and less predictable — it can take days to weeks. IndexMyURL's 15-day cycle with 14 signal rounds maximizes the chances of PerplexityBot encountering your URL. Credits refunded automatically if not indexed after 15 days.
Does IndexMyURL also cover Google, Claude AI and ChatGPT in the same campaign?
Yes. Every IndexMyURL campaign creates crawl signals toward Google, Bing and Yandex simultaneously. Via Bing IndexNow, ChatGPT Browse, Copilot and Perplexity are covered. Via Google signals, Gemini is covered. Via our discovery hub network, BraveBot finds your URLs and opens a path toward Claude AI. All engines in one campaign, one credit per URL.
Does IndexMyURL guarantee that Perplexity will cite my URL?
No tool can guarantee that Perplexity will cite any specific URL — that depends on the relevance of your content to the query. What IndexMyURL guarantees is that crawl signals are created toward both discovery paths over 14 rounds in 15 days. If neither Google nor Bing indexes your URL by day 15, your credit is refunded automatically.
10 free credits. No credit card required. Credits back automatically if Google or Bing doesn't index in 15 days.
